Health freaks
Went to Bugis today and was suddenly struck by the lack of attention I was paying to my health.
Suddenly, Wan and i began to look at GNC, Nature's Farm, Aibi, Osim etc with new, greedy eyes. Wan has been scouting and 'researching' for a health supplement to help him relief fatigue and tiredness. His job requires him to stay in tip top condition, so he has been looking for weeks now. After much research and surveying (Wan was indecisive with lots of redundant questions posed at the helpful but overly energetic salesgirl at GNC), he decided to purchase vitamin B-50 Complex softgel caplets. It helps to rejuvenate and reduces stress and tiredness The salesgirl swore that after taking the caplets herself, she felt less tired and more energetic. Oh,that explains why she was overly lively... Then it was my turn. There was this cart selling tea leaves and natural herbs with health benefits... hmm. The lady was explaining the different health benefits each different herb had. Interesting.. didn't know that those tiny flowers had such benefits for the body. In the end, I decided to settle on Pink Rose Buds (caffeine free). Need to brew them for some health benefits which was listed as below: 1. Anti-depressant ( Need that as sometimes Wan & work give me the blues) 2. Highly rejuvenating (to keep me want to keep working, hah!) 3. Preserves beauty & youth ( I'm vain, I know..) 4. Reduces high cholestrol level (For the extra oil intake from KFC meals and fried kway teos) So whaddya tink? I'm going to take care of my health! Yay! Am going to start jogging twice a week (for a start, I'm a busy gerl you know..) and watch what i eat. Am going to take the stairs, am going to eat more fruits, am going to drnk more soup, yada yada yada... I AM! The rain didn't stop wan and me from having a nice, rather peaceful time, though. I wanted to drag him to Orchard to check out the Great Singapore Sale but somehow changed my mind later on because I hate to shop with him tugging my hand to "hurry up" Hummmpphh! So we went to grab some 'healthy' bites at Banquet over at Raffles Hospital. Yum. ![]() Yummy.... err.. but are those really healthy? And oh, I dropped by the Esplanade the day before and the place was buzzling with musical performances, stick walkers, bright lights, art displays and nice jazzy music. The Arts Festival had just kicked in and the atmosphere is fantastic! The only downside was I didn't bring my digicam. Hummpph! But Wan promised that we'll visit Esplanade again next weekend - with my digicam this time round. Can't wait! Well, I have to go now. Gotta brew those pretty pink rose buds. They sound so nice aren't they? The lady said that I could even eat the petals for good skin! Yummy..!
